Mother's Day/ Birth Mother's Day Poems for Birthmother's
We are your friend your lover your spouse your sister your cousin your aunt your daughter your mother Present in your work place your neighborhood your school your PTA your grocery store your organizations your church your family Mostly silent We have begun Tentatively telling .... those we care about those we work with those who ask and, sometimes, those that don't Slowly We are rising...... in the church pew on Mother's Day into the faces of the ignorant in front of those who have denied us for so long We are finding..... Ourselves and Each other Strength in love Brenda Romanchik, 2002 ****************************************************** She holds him in her heart And she remembers... She remembers the magic of the first flutter of life She remembers the delight of looking into his tiny face for the first time And saying, "So there you are!" She remembers the sadness of letting go And the incredible pain of separation She will always remember what it was like to be his mother to hold his tiny body close Today we remember her for all she has given for her part in bringing a miraculous life into the world For the love she will always have and hold in her heart. Brenda Romanchik, 1995 *************************************************************************************** Being a birthmother means that there is a baby sketched in our heart the lines that make those perfect hands and perfect limbs and big wide eyes are slightly smudged blurred by tears of motherhood not fully consummated Being a birthmother means that there is a baby that is always with us No matter how old our children get or how big they grow or whether we have the privilege of knowing them or not Being a birthmother means that there is a baby That we will always remember Through the tears through the years through the changes that must come with time and circumstance Being a birthmother means that there is a baby we will be thinking of On Mother's Day And honoring And celebrating And remembering........ Whether or not we are honored or celebrated or remembered. Being a birthmother means, to me, that there is a baby who will be in my thoughts On Mother's Day with many other babies and their birthmothers and my son's Mom and my other children and my own Mother and my Grandmothers being honored and celebrated and remembered.
